It weighs 45g."[23:48]<gordonDrogon> :)[23:48]<gordonDrogon> There was a forum post with the board layout sizes, etc.[23:52]<carldani> gordonDrogon: have you ever seen "standard installation media" for ARM?[23:54]<carldani> _av500_: You don't want anything like a BIOS (crufty, slow, buggy) near the Raspi.
